news of the week

Join us this afternoon for a tasting with one of our favorite sales reps, Mike from Polaner Selections (4:30-7:30). On a non-wine topic, a group of us last night enjoyed the Heights Players production of Hollywood Arms; only two performances left, tonight and tomorrow afternoon. And Thursday night some of us in the nabe were treated to a brief preview of Vertical Players forthcoming production of the opera version of A View from the Bridge; look forward to seeing the whole thing in November. New wines follow; expect we will also have new samplers shortly.
